************************************************************************************

***I think I figured this out ...
a few details to work through ...
the donation/fundraising for GSM &F is something I'd like
to initiate .. to help launch by suggestion/consultant
I guess my own service project ...
I don't want to make any money from this
online fundraising effort ...
the star is like the center of the official god star logo
and the club service project is % of product sales from the gold star collection is donated to GSM&F
so is it ok to just feature the gold star
as in share a moment ... tribute ... because it's being donated
not sure if it needs for be featured online with official gold star logo or
if bb wears gold star is ok ???

as a share a moment ... tribute

*** if there is demand for additional products can build on later

just want to do it correctly




initial ideas for star collection - tbc ... will update as things are confirmed

design having the look of a coordinating pin
on- travel mug and or t-shirt and or hat, possibly a candle, flag-opportunities to build on ...
playing cards - a gold outline of a star instead of wildcard

possibly just white with gold -exterior - holiday collection
to match up w/GSM pin, concept is to have updated fundraising items
tribute ... giving thanks and remembering right after Thanksgiving ... weekend after ... for Holiday season ...
special event 1-7 day event, Thurs-Sun, set amt, available at select retail partnership locations, while qtys last and
have an online donation box - gifting the fund/100% of donations go directly to the fund-transaction fee, or
donation absorbs transaction fee
evaluating best fit......want to make it accessible and an authorized payment site ...possibly GOOGLE PAY, payment option/non-profit rates

***tbd my vision is to have an accessible online donation site for the majority of the fundraising ... one day event during the holidays,
soon after Thanksgiving
go to the GOOGLE website, GOOGLE PAY handles the online transaction,
similar to an online Red Cross relief fundraiser
commemoration coffee to launch/kick off the fundraising

(inspired by GSM holiday tree decorating at WH)

in hopes of becoming an annual fundraiser ...

*** this is a proposal for a insignia bee label

tribute ... give the gift that keeps on giving

for the Gold Star Mother/Family fund upon approval
